The European settlers started to take their land and take away their rights. They controlled what they ate where they lived, where they hunted, if the could hunt, and where they could go. They had punishments such as being sent away for imprisonment and death threats. This broke almost all of the laws especially the laws that states 'right to equality" (1) and "Freedom from Torture and Degrading Treatment" (5).
Ways this could relate to historical events in the U.S. is how the European settlers kicked the native Americans out of their land and tortured them and their families and later on in the late 1800's and early 1900's there was a lot of slavery down south. People took other people from Africa and brought them to the U.S. and turned them into slaves which took away every single one of their rights and they also sold slaves and had owns. These slaves were often tortured and had to do a lot of hard work and labor.
Some people thought that the relocation was a good thing so that they wouldn't loose their aboriginal population. They didn't think that the kids of mixed decent were good enough. Many mothers would give birth at home instead of the hospital so it would be in the records and so the government wouldn't come and take away their child as soon as they normally would. Full blood Aboriginal populations were decreasing. they thought that the more intelligent they were, the better they would be as domestic servants and laborers. these actions were and are still not justified because wheat they did was terrible and inhumane. They had no right to come to another country and take away the peoples rights and torture them, especially when its the government. Its not right to take young kids away from their families and to torture them. The Aboriginals tried to fight back but against a whole government, its not easy and just kept on pushing further punishment and cruelty.

Cane Toad: An Invasive Spicies.
The Cane Toad is a large neotropical toad mainly located in South America and the Caribbean. Cane Toads came to Australia through Hawaii. Over the years the toads have multiplied rapidly spreading many diseases.
The cane toad is adapting to a wider environmental range and may in the future be spreading into habitats currently not available.Attempts have been made to make use of dead cane toads, which can number in the thousands and cause hygiene problems. Their skin can be made into leather, and novelty cane-toad purses made of the fore-body and abdomen are sometimes seen .Cane toads have also been known to be a significant source of food for humans in their native environment; cane toads are cooked by skinning them and removing the internal organs (including the poisonous glands), then roasting them. It has been said they are like chicken except with a drier taste.In Australian states where the cane toad is common, some 'sports' have developed, such as cane toad golf and cane toad cricket, where cane toads are used as balls. Australia has created many interesting and creative ways to try to get rid of the Cane Toad. Invasive species in the US are wasps and honey bee's. They kill many humans by multiple stings and they produce so fast that we cant get rid of them. we need them to nurture our plants. Another are mosquito's because they always bite multiple times and cause many life threatening diseases. We are creating new medicines and vaccines to get rid of these diseases and we are also inventing new insect repellents but many mosquito's are becoming immune and can resist the repellents.
